“Here’s a drawing of me (eager and mesmerized Cal Arts animator) and Chuck Jones, at his home studio in 1981. I had the extreme privilege and honor of Chuck being my mentor, and good friend. Thank you, Chuck for all you’ve taught me, and keep teaching me throughout all the years. Happy Birthday Chuck. I miss you buddy. Your Fellow Animator and Friend…Jeff”
